However, a parcels car looks a bit odd hauling the down Royal Scot... As a competently 90 percent complete DPU body and a I assume useable class 47 chassis 25 quid is actually good value. However I suspect the likely presence of copious amounts of UHU or Bostik holding them together renders both unusable!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted December 3, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 3, 2022 One of his regular bass players was a guard at Margam, and a minor mate of mine in those days. I found him a bit 'gushy', breathless and excitable, in live performances, and will never forgive him for imposing 'Hymns and Arias' on us, as it has been used since it came out by rugby fans at internationals precisely to replace the Hymns and Arias, which were wonderful and are becoming forgotten, sadly. Probably not just his fault, of course, but the chapels were already largely history in the 60s, and rugby club singsongs and the internationals were the only thing keeping the old tunes going. I loved the likes of 'Y Bob Yn Sydd Fyddlon', 'Sanctaidd', and the rest. You can still hear a decent 'Calon Lan' on the ferry back from Rosslare on a Saturday night, along with 'Ar Lan Y Mor' and 'I Am The Music Man', but the old hymns are passing into history except for the Male Voice Choirs, and nobody bothers with them in Wales any more except as members. 'Great Redeemer' (Cwm Rhondda, bread of heaven) survives, but nobody knows the others nowadays. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Great Redeemer' (Cwm Rhondda, bread of heaven) survives, but nobody knows the others nowadays. We went for a meal in The Golden Lion in Newport Pembrokeshire and as we were leaving we heard singing like we've never heard singing before. Needless to say we investigated and found a couple of brothers singing a Welsh rugby song. What a fantastic sound, then the elder brother persuaded his younger brother to sing on his own. His voice could have filled an auditorium so in a small room was superb. After he'd finished, Jen asked him if was a professional singer and he replied that he was a farmer. Anyway, when we got back to our accommodation, a bit of electronic searching revealed him to be Trystan LLyr Griffiths: Edited December 4, 2022 by 96701 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
